ADL Representatives, whо are sensitive to the exclusivity of Jewish tragedy might be right from the lexical standpoint.
The Word ''Holocaust'' does not quite fit the definition of Ukrainian Genocide.
The word "holocaust" is usually traced to Wycliffe's translation of the Bible as a burnt offering to the Lord, and indeed it is an English word from the ancient Greek words "holos" (whole) and "caustos" (to burn). In reference to Hitler's destruction of the Jews, it came to be used as a not quite exact translation of the Hebrew word "Shoah" (complete and utter destruction), yet evocative of what Hitler tried to do to with a people traditionally considered themselves to be chosen by God, the Jews, to destroy them entirely as a people, including burning them in ovens specially désigned for that purpose. It is not a generic term for a certain kind of crime against any given group but a specific word for a specific event and as such has entered many languages.
The word HOLODOMOR "holod" (hunger or famine) and "mor" (mass death as in a plague)is unique in its kind. ( as well as ''Maidan'' , the word ''Maidan'' is a word which describes Ukrainian revolution.)
Well, but in terms of the uniqueness of Jewish tragedy in comparison with the Ukrainian, I would say that even taking into account that the killed Jews were incomparably talented people, the people feel the same pain and all people have the same color blood.
What do you think ?
Both are terrible tragedies.
In both tragedies the victims are innocent.
The racial problems are solved with education, and its probably understandable that the word Holocaust should not be mentioned in Ukrainian tragedy, because it literally belongs to Jewish tragedy.
But what representative of ADL meant talking about the counterproductivity?
Figures slain by Holodomor ?
Тhe very mention of the famine as one of the greatest tragedy of the 20th century?
Do not attach the importance to the horror of this tragedy?
But it's been in Soviet times, when we learned that there was no famine, and people were severely punished for any mention about famine.
